After the First Division launched an attack, the officers and men of Li Dingjun on the other side naturally discovered it, but in the face of the attack of the First Division, they had a feeling of helplessness.

Because the opponent's attack is different from what they expected, and they have never even seen it before.

The attack of the First Division was very different from that of the traditional troops, they did not rush forward in formation, nor did they rush forward in a dense formation, but used trenches and terrain to carry out rapid and frequent maneuvers, hiding their bodies under obstacles as much as possible during the maneuver, and at the same time, in the process of maneuvering, they continued to fire and kill the enemy with the breech-loading rifles in their hands.

The 1st Division launched the first wave of the attack with only three infantry regiments, the 2nd Infantry Brigade was responsible for frontal fire suppression, so that the enemy could not raise its head, and the 1st Infantry Brigade was subordinate to the 1st Infantry Brigade to attack from the left in a roundabout way.

The number of troops invested seems to be a lot, but it does not form a dense formation, nor does it directly rush up all at once, but is scattered, and even looks a little messy.

Because their attacks are all point-to-point, when the first corps carries out a roundabout attack, it is scattered within a range of several hundred meters, and it is also on the front line, and the first infantry battalion, which acts as the vanguard, separates the infantry companies in front and cooperates with each other to carry out rapid advances, and an infantry company in the rear provides fire suppression and cover.

Even the attack of the infantry company is clearly layered, with three infantry platoons alternately covering the advance, and after the soldiers bend down and quickly advance to a certain distance, they will lie down in a favorable terrain and open fire to cover the friendly advance in the rear.

But if you zoom in on the entire battlefield in this way, you will feel that the attack of the 1st Division is scattered and disorderly.

However, in reality, their attack was layered and followed the principles of frontal containment, flank detours, alternate cover, and rapid assault.

The enemy forces on the front line were so confused about the way the First Division, especially the First Division, was attacking, so that they did not know how to deal with it, and finally retreated.

But Lin Ziran, who was behind, sighed a lot when he saw this scene: after so many years of tossing, he finally got it out.

This kind of army, equipped with rear-loading rifles, using new infantry tactics and regimental battalions, battalions, and companies, is the future.

The previous war mode of playing in a dense formation and queuing to shoot should have been thrown into the dustbin of history a long time ago.

However, it is not easy to play this new type of army.

This new type of army is actually not low, the first prerequisite is the rear-loading rifled rifle, without this thing, the soldiers not only can not fight on their stomachs, but also the density of fire can not keep up, and this new tactic cannot be implemented at all.

Second, it is necessary to have a flexible and effective command system, that is, to form a command system of regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads; at the same time, the allocation of subordinate units should be reasonable, and the subordinate units commanded by officers should not be too many, because the firepower density of the troops is large, and the distance between the lines of troops is large, resulting in a relatively large distance for the troops to be deployed.

There are many lower-level troops who cannot command them at all.

This is also the reason why the troops under Lin Ziran's command all adopted the first division, four regiments, three battalions, four companies, three platoons and three squads.

The most typical is that a company commander commands three infantry platoons just right, and the same platoon commander commands three infantry squads.

This point, the difference in establishment, is also the biggest difference between the Luo'an garrison under Lin Ziran and the army of other feudal towns.

The very popular pure infantry establishment in the contemporary Daheng Domain, especially the basic tactical establishment of the core, is to use more than six or even ten infantry companies with a strength of about 100 people to form a tactical unit, called an infantry regiment or infantry battalion, and the regiment commander or battalion commander directly commands these infantry companies to fight.

This kind of infantry regiment is the standard infantry formation of the modern age.

This kind of establishment is to adapt to line operations, and when line operations are carried out, the establishment can make the troops more dense, more intense, and more impactful, and at the same time, it can also effectively defend against the impact of the enemy's cavalry.

At the same time, because the troops are very dense, it is also convenient for officers to command.

However, the troops under Lin Ziran's command were not of this kind of establishment, and the troops under Lin Ziran's command were determined to adopt the Dalian establishment from the very beginning, with more than 140 infantry companies in each company and three platoons under the company.

Up there are four companies to form an infantry battalion, three infantry battalions to form a regiment, now two infantry regiments form an infantry brigade, two infantry brigades as the core, with artillery regiments, cavalry regiments, baggage regiments, engineering battalions and other troops to form a division.

To be honest, this kind of formation was not necessary in the early days of line operations, because in line formations at that time, infantry companies fought with company commanders in front or flanks riding horses condescendingly leading two or three rows of horizontal soldiers.

Because the soldiers are deployed very densely, and the width is only about 20 meters, the company commander can easily personally command all the soldiers to fight.

At most, a platoon commander is needed to act as an adjutant and coordinate command in the back row.

Therefore, during that period, the troops under Lin Ziran were often embarrassed to have two more idle platoon commanders when they were fighting, and the main role of each squad leader was to act as a backbone soldier and stabilize the line, but when it came to commanding the operation, the platoon commander couldn't take his turn, let alone them.

However, this is at most a little embarrassing, and it will not actually affect the combat capability, after all, during the operation, a company commander can command the entire army without delaying the operation.

On the contrary, it is more effective in the management of troops on weekdays.

However, this kind of regimental, battalion, company, and platoon formation really brought into play its combat effectiveness only after it was equipped with rear-loading rifles on a large scale.

At that time, the attack of the First Infantry Corps outside Pingdan City, combined with the rear-loading rifles and Wu Guanlin's new light infantry tactics, really brought into play its flexible and powerful combat effectiveness.

So much so that the subsequent infantry attacks were quite good.

Lin Ziran put down the binoculars and said: "The first step of the corps is fighting well, and the new tactics are decent!" ”

Wu Guanlin said: "The first step corps is the first of our army to be equipped with rear-loading rifles, and it has a long training time and rich combat experience, so it is normal to be able to beat the enemy out of breath!" ”

When Wu Guanlin said this, his tone was still a little proud: "It is also thanks to the fact that we began to organize and train a large number of light infantry companies in the early years, and implemented new light infantry tactics in the troops, and this first step was that the corps was able to adapt so quickly after changing its outfit!" ”

Lin Ziran naturally knew what the point of Wu Guanlin's words was, which was nothing more than the words of the new style of inviting infantry tactics.

It seems that he did not deliberately mention it, for fear that others would forget that the new type of light infantry tactics was developed by him Wu Guanlin, and for fear that others would not know that he insisted on promoting the establishment of light infantry companies and tactics in the army in the early days.

However, Lin Ziran is not going to say anything about him, after all, this new tactic is really made by him Wu Guanlin, and the credit is there!

However, can you not be so thick-skinned, and talk about it twice in three days......

Lin Ziran didn't speak, Wu Guanlin on the side was also a wonderful person, and when he saw that Lin Ziran didn't speak, he immediately said: "This is thanks to this new establishment that you put forward in the early years, although the humble position has been engaged in light infantry tactics for many years, but it was not practical at all in the past, that is, with the new establishment you made, this can gradually take shape, and now with the rear-loading rifle, this is the real Dacheng!" ”

Wu Guanlin continued: "The establishment and equipment are the basis of tactics, and our army can have today's combat strength thanks to the new establishment of the adults and the rear-loading rifles designed by the adults!" ”

Lin Ziran's expression eased a little at this time!

That's just like a word!

I didn't blow it, you blow a fart!

Forget about blowing, just blow your own new tactics, and don't blow about Lao Tzu's new formations and breech-loading rifles.

How to be a subordinate!

However, this Wu Guanlin is also smart and can recognize his mistakes in time.

As the saying goes, knowing mistakes can improve greatly!
